Yet another categorification of the Alexander polynomial
by
Oleg Viro
Stony Brook University

For a Turaev-Reshetikhin vertex state sum functor from the category of oriented colored tangles to representations of quantum gl(1|1), a categorification is constructed. Similar constructions will be proposed for Turaev-Reshetikhin functors based on other quantum groups.
